School season is upon us! This time of year always feels hectic, there are back to school supplies to buy and new teachers to meet. And among this chaos we still need to remember the daily tasks like laundry and dinner! For me it’s really important to have easy to prepare tasty meals that I know the kids are going to like. Between school, homework and extra curricular activities having easy weeknight dinners is a must. A great place to find these types of dinners is Kraft Canada CLASSICO Recipes here you’ll find everything from pasta to pizza. All are delicious and most are easy to make! My favourite recipe is the Meat Lover’s Meatball Sub because both of my girls will eat it, it’s delicious AND it’s easy to make!!

With only 3 steps to complete and 5 ingredients this recipe is on the top of my list. Making it is simple as it requires fully cooked meatballs (hey if you want to use homemade you can… but who has time for that?) and the yummy Classico di Bologna Bolognese Pasta Sauce. This sauce is the key to the recipe, it really makes for a tasty sandwich. Let’s take a look at the easy weeknight dinner recipe now!

Ingredients:

2 cups Classico di Bologna Bolognese Pasta Sauce

2/3 cup water

24 frozen fully cooked meatballs ( 1/2lb/225g)

4 submarine rolls, partially split

1/4 cup Cracker Barrel Shredded Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese

Step 1

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Combine the pasta sauce and water in large skillet. Add meatballs, stir until evenly coated.

Step 2.

Cook on medium-high heat for 10 min or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Step 3.

Fill rolls with meatballs and sauce; top with cheese.

You can also top with some corn relish, or in my case caramelized onions to add a little extra flavour. For sides steamed vegetables, salad or potato wedges work perfectly.
